Descriptions:
XM Studios is excited to present our next 1/4 scale MARVEL Premium Collectibles series statue, Nightcrawler (Classic). Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible XM’s famous quality finish.
XM Studios Nightcrawler 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – Nightcrawler’s agility and acrobatic reflexes are showcased here as he teleports away from Sentinel’s tentacles, leaving a trail of BAMF! cloud as he carries the momentum and prepares to launch a downward attack. This is a dynamic piece packed with movement and action that is further highlighted by the Sentinel’s tentacles twining around, following the mutant hero as Sentinel attempts an attack.
XM Studios Nightcrawler 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – Kurt Wagner is donned in his red and black outfit which is modernized with textures and panels. His blue prehensile tail curls behind him as he springs into action.
XM Studios Nightcrawler 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – Collectors can choose between various head, arms and tail switch outs for swashbuckling, trio-swords wielding Nightcrawler, or a more iconic portrait featuring his shorter hair, equipped with 1 sword.
Dave Cockrum originally created Nightcrawler while he was in the United States Navy, stationed at Guam. He recounted: “I sat up one night in the middle of a typhoon because it was too noisy to sleep, so I stayed up and thought up this character.
XM Studios Nightcrawler 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – Originally, Nightcrawler was a demon from Hell who had flubbed a mission, and rather than go back and face punishment, he decided to stay up here in the human world. He was supposed to be the sidekick of another superhero character that I had created named The Intruder.” At this point Nightcrawler wore trunks instead of a full costume, but otherwise looked identical to his final version.
Cockrum submitted the character to be part of a group of characters called The Outsiders (not to be confused with the later team The Outsiders), set in the universe of DC Comics’ Legion of Super-Heroes series.However, DC rejected the character, resulting in Cockrum importing him to Marvel after he began working on X-Men in 1975.
XM Studios Nightcrawler 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – Because editor Roy Thomas wanted the new X-Men to be a multinational group, it was decided to make Nightcrawler German.
Character Background
Born in Bavaria to the blue-skinned shapeshifting mutant later known as Mystique, Kurt Wagner was shunned at birth due to his having blue skin, pointed ears, fangs, and a long pointed tail. At the time disguised as Baroness Wagner, Mystique’s true identity was revealed after she gave birth to Kurt, and the pair were chased by an angry mob. Fleeing to the nearby falls, Mystique threw the infant Kurt over the edge and fled.
